My friend is not correct. The mean is 52. The median is 50.5.

To find the mean, add all the numbers together and divide by the total number of values:
(40 + 38 + 62 + 70 + 56 + 41 + 58 + 48 + 60 + 45) / 10 = 508 / 10 = 50.8

To find the median, first rearrange the numbers in numerical order:
38, 40, 41, 45, 48, 56, 58, 60, 62, 70

Since there are 10 numbers, the median is the average of the middle two numbers:
(48 + 56) / 2 = 104 / 2 = 52

Therefore, the correct answer is that the mean is 50.8 and the median is 52.
